The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

In Ganquan Palace, Lu Zhaolin frowned: "Yao Xingde, is Concubine Chun offended by this? Is she in a good mood now?"

Yao Xingde thought to himself, your heart is really far away. Concubine Chun, the empress, beat people, scolded them, and punished them. Now that you have directly demoted concubines to be concubines, are you still worried that concubines Chun will be offended and in a bad mood?

But he could only hide this slander in his heart, and he only said: "If Your Majesty is worried about Concubine Chun, why don't you ask someone to go to Jingyang Palace to ask?"

Lu Zhaolin glared at him: "Go quickly."

Yao Xingde was about to go out to deliver the message when he heard him say again: "Forget it, I will go to Jingyang Palace to see it myself."

Just as he was about to leave the palace gate of Ganquan Palace, he saw Lu Zhaolin stop again. The group of people following him also quickly stopped.

Yao Xingde looked at him in surprise and heard him say: "I remember that there is also a set of hairpins from the Four Gentlemen in the library?"

Yao Xingde nodded, that set of hairpins was imported from the south two years ago. The materials used are not gorgeous, but they are exquisite and meticulous.

A set of four, namely plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

When it was put into storage, Lu Zhaolin liked it very much after taking one look at it.

Yao Xingde originally thought that this thing would probably be given to the Imperial Concubine or the Jade Concubine, but to his surprise, there has been no movement.

Your Majesty asked today, are you giving something to Concubine Chun?

Sure enough, I heard Lu Zhaolin say: "Go and take out that set of hairpins."

Yao Xingde said "Promise", and after taking only two steps, he was stopped by Lu Zhaolin: "Wait a minute, I will go with you."

In the courtyard of Jingyang Palace, several tall white magnolias were planted.

Now is the flowering season. Looking from a distance, it looks like clouds and snow.

Aunt Wan asked someone to place a rocking chair under the magnolia tree, and placed a small case beside it with snacks and tea.

The weather is fine today, Jiang Shiying is lying on the rocking chair to pass the time.

When Lu Zhaolin came, he saw her completely in the rocking chair, holding a book in her hand but not reading it. With my head tilted upward, I don't know whether I am looking at flowers or clouds.

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhaolin walked slowly to her side.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Shiying suddenly came back to her senses.

Seeing that she was about to get up, Lu Zhaolin held her shoulders.

Jiang Shiying pursed her lips and said, "I didn't do anything, I was just in a daze."

Yu Chengyi had already brought another rocking chair over, and Lu Zhaolin was sitting on the edge, leaning forward instead of leaning back, holding Jiang Shiying's hand, feeling quite worried.

He thought that after venting her anger in Fengyi Palace today, she would be in a better mood. Unexpectedly, he still looked miserable.

If we say that Ah Ying was just a delicate and fragrant flower, standing proudly on the branch. In just one day, the flower had lost its color and moisture, and seemed to be about to wither.

Lu Zhaolin's heart tightened and he held her hand tightly.

Jiang Shiying seemed not to notice anything at all, her eyelashes were lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

"Ah Ying?" Lu Zhaolin called her.

Jiang Shiying didn't respond at all, as if she didn't hear him at all.

Lu Zhaolin called out twice more, and then he saw her raising her eyes to look at him, with a confused look on her face: "Your Majesty?"

Lu Zhaolin raised his hand and stroked her head, picked off a white petal, and handed it to her: "A petal fell on your head."

Jiang Shiying gave a slight smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her heart.

Lu Zhaolin stretched out his hand, and Yao Xingde handed him a box made of sandalwood knowingly.

He took the box and opened it. Inside was a black velvet backing, with four hairpins placed on it, each made into the shape of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

"Do you like Ah Ying?" As he spoke, Lu Zhaolin picked up the plum blossom hairpin and inserted it into her hair.

Jiang Shiying said: "I like it very much. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin said: "I also brought something else. Let's go to the palace and take a look at it?"

"Okay." Jiang Shiying responded obediently.

On this day, Lu Zhaolin stayed in Jingyang Palace until Shenshi. If it hadn't been for more than half an hour before the evening celebration party was about to begin, he would probably not have left.

At the celebration banquet, there was a lot of laughter, singing and dancing.

On Jiang Shiying's left is Concubine Fang, and on her right is Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning looked at her with a worried look, and spoke softly and comforted her carefully: "Your Majesty always loves your Majesty, but your father made a big mistake, and for the sake of your face, he left a Life is certainly not difficult.”

She thought Jiang Shiying was worried about Jiang Pengyuan.

Little did he know that in Jiang Shiying's heart, she wished that Jiang Pengyuan would die quickly and be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

But I couldn't say this.

She just said: "Thank you for comforting me, I'm fine."

Ning Guifei didn't want to say anything more, so she just chatted a few words, hoping to distract her attention.

At this time, a woman's exclamation was heard from below: "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

Following the sound, I saw that the low-ranking concubines were getting noisy.

Lu Zhaolin was talking to Marquis Xinwu, and he frowned when he heard the sound. Before he spoke, the queen scolded: "What's going on? Jianxing, what are you making a fuss about?"

The person who just exclaimed was none other than Chu Guiren’s eldest palace maid, Jian Xing.

At this time, hearing the Queen's question, she loudly replied: "Queen, our little master has lost a lot of blood."

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate silence in the hall.

This celebration banquet was not only attended by concubines from the harem and members of the royal family. There are also meritorious generals headed by Xinwuhou, as well as some important officials of the former dynasty and their families.

No one is a fool.

A woman suddenly left a lot of blood, either because of the sudden arrival of the month letter, or because of a sudden miscarriage.

If it was Yue Xin, no matter how careless the palace maid was, she would not scream on such an occasion. In this case, there is only one possibility left.

Although they were itching and curious as if they were being scratched by a kitten, all the adults in the front court still kept their noses and noses in check and did not dare to take a look at the concubine's seat.

How can the excitement in His Majesty's harem be so beautiful?

At this time, Lu Zhaolin's face had completely darkened, and the queen did not hesitate to give in.

"Yao Xingde, go ask the imperial doctor."

After a while, Zhao Yuanshi arrived out of breath.

As soon as his fingers touched Guiren Chu's wrist, his heart skipped a beat.

Looking at his face, Lu Zhaolin knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment I heard Zhao Yuanshi say: "Mr. Chu, this is a miscarriage."

"What?" Chu Guiren said in surprise, "I don't know when I got pregnant."

Zhao Yuanshi said: "My little master's month is still young, so it is normal that he was not discovered in time."

Chu Guiren's hand fell on her lower abdomen, and tears flowed from her eyes: "Has he already left me before I even knew he was coming?"

At this scene, everyone around him was extremely sad.

After this incident, the celebration banquet naturally could not go on, and the royal family members and officials of the previous dynasty all resigned one after another.

Lu Zhaolin took the lead in carrying the noble Chu people back to Xuande Palace, and then looked at the queen.

The queen took a step forward, bowed and said, "It's my concubine's fault that something like this happened at the celebration banquet."

At this time, Li Bin said: "Isn't the celebration banquet hosted by the imperial concubine? How come it was the empress who admitted the mistake?"

The imperial concubine's mind was racing rapidly. She is not a brainless idiot, how could she do something like this on an occasion like the celebration banquet?

What's more, she didn't even know that Chu Guiren was pregnant.

I'm afraid that someone deliberately played a trick and wanted to take advantage of her.

No matter how much I think about it, I can only bow my head and apologize: "My concubine's preparation for the palace banquet was not good, please punish me."

Lu Zhaolin's eyes looked back and forth between the queen and the noble concubine, and he said in a deep voice: "Yao Xingde, come and investigate this matter."

Yao Xingde took the order.

At this time, the usually taciturn Concubine Yu suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have a suspicion."

Lu Zhaolin looked at her: "Say."

Concubine Jade bowed and said: "Even she herself didn't know that Noble Chu was pregnant. I guess that the accident at today's banquet was not directed at Noble Chu. Apart from Noble Chu, only Concubine Chun was pregnant in the palace. Pregnant. I'm afraid that the real target of the person behind what happened today is actually Concubine Chun."

After the words fell, Lu Zhaolin's expression was visibly colder than before.

He said: "Historical Zhao Yuan, please check Concubine Chun's pulse."

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty, I am fine. I have never touched the things at the banquet."

Saying this, she still stretched out her right hand.

After Zhao Yuanshi checked her pulse and confirmed that she and the baby in her belly were fine, Lu Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's all disperse." As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to Jiang Shiying: "I will take you back to Jingyang Palace."

Jiang Shiying handed her hand into his palm.

The two of them were about to walk out when they heard the queen say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Chu has just lost her child. Please give her some comfort."

Lu Zhaolin only said: "I understand."
